John,
We cheered when our LGBTQ leaders in the Texas House successfully blocked a huge slate of anti-trans legislation earlier this year. But Texas’s biggest bigot (and that’s not an easy title to claim!), Governor Greg Abbott, simply won’t leave trans kids alone.
Here’s the latest: even as Texas legislators FLED the state to protest voting restrictions, Abbott was plotting his next move. When asked why he wasn’t calling a special session to ban trans-related healthcare and label parents and medical professionals "child abusers” if they provide pro-trans services, he replied there was “another way of achieving the exact same thing, and it's about a finished product as we speak right now.”
Whatever Abbott’s planning, it’s going to be bad for trans kids – and it’s only a matter of time before he targets the rest of the LGBTQ community. We must stop Abbott and awful governors like him from forcing through toxic legislation. Our pro-equality elected officials are the best line of defense we have - donate today to side with them against bigots like Gov. Abbott! [[link removed]]
